Turtle identification

[TheWarTortoise]

Baby cousins in South Carolina found this baby turtle. I was thinking it was a box turtle, but I have no idea. If anyone could tell me, that'd be great!

Thanks!
Sorry pictures are blurry

3 Toed box turtle.

Because of the dark coloration on the plastron, I'm going with either an Eastern (Terrapene carolina carolina) box turtle, or a Gulf Coast (Terrapene carolina major) box turtle.

It is cute too!

Only the Eastern box is found in South Carolina. There are no three-toeds or Gulf Coast boxes there.

But yes, it is a baby (Eastern) box turtle.
